Boy Scouts to pick up Christmas trees

December 5, 2016

The local Boy Scouts will pick up your Christmas tree at the curbside for a small donation.

According to announcement from the organization:

Hollister’s Boy Scout Troop 436 and San Juan Bautista’s Troop 428 will be providing curbside pick-up service for Christmas trees. The troops are asking for an $8 donation. All trees are recycled after pickups Jan. 1, 7 and 8. On the pick-up dates, please leave your tree visible at the curb by 9 a.m., stripped of all decorations and stands. Trees do not need to be cut in sections. We accept flocked trees. Donations can be left under the doormat. Both cities are served twice on each pick-up date between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. There is no need to call to give us an address unless you have special instructions. Please call for special pick-ups outside the city limits. On the pick-up dates, we will also have drop sites available at Veterans Memorial Park, and at the San Juan Bautista Scout House.
